Tuesday, Google announced their cryptically named Cr-48 notebook. What’s unique about the Cr-48 is that it will run Google’s Chrome OS.

Google is allowing members of the public to sign up to beta test the machines. After answering a few clickable questions about your computer usage, you must explain to Google in 140 characters why you should be chosen as a beta tester. I didn’t have enough characters to truly elaborate my vision, so here it is unabridged:

01. I would register a new domain (RobsCR48.org or something like that) and start a new blog there.

02. I would use the Cr-48 every day for six months (the length of the beta test), alternating every day (when possible) between in home and mobile use. I would write somewhere between 500 and 1,000 words a day about my experiences with the Cr-48. And oh, would I have some.

03. For the duration of the test, I would disavow all physical media — books, CDs, DVDs — and access digital copies of those things using my Cr-48. I would explore every crack and crevice of the device, using every included option and coming up with creative new uses for the device as well.

04. I would take a picture, every day, of me using the Cr-48. Hopefully each one would be in a unique location or performing a unique task. Some of these might end up being screenshots. Many of them would be of the Cr-48 in unique locations, or me showing it to people.

05. At the end of the 180 day period, I would publish a book titled “180 Days with Google’s Cr-48”. The book would include a preface, all 180 blog posts and pictures, and a follow-up. In keeping with the spirit of the Cr-48, the book would be available as a free digital download.

It’s more than 140 characters, but that’s what I would do with a Chrome’s Cr-48 for 180 days.
